RISE was able to speak to Foot Doctor Zach on the Build Boldly Podcast. Learn more about who he is, what he does, where to find him, how RISE has supported his journey – and so much more.
Having access to a place like RISE made it easier to focus, create consistently, and keep moving forward. The right environment gave me the freedom to take this from a side hustle to a full-on business.
Dr. Zach Thomas’s story is packed with lessons for anyone looking to turn a side hustle into a career or explore personal branding. His transition from traditional practice to becoming a YouTube educator and entrepreneur offers valuable insights into taking risks, building consistency, and embracing discomfort.
Consistency is King
Creating over 100 videos before seeing real traction, Zach shows that showing up regularly is the real differentiator.
Time Management is Everything
Balancing a medical practice, a YouTube channel, and a family required mastering his schedule.
Start With What You Have
His first viral videos were filmed and edited on an iPhone—proving you don’t need fancy gear to begin.
You Control the Outcome
Entrepreneurship has peaks and valleys, but the ability to pivot and problem-solve is empowering.
Embrace the Boring Work
The key to progress is often repetition and discipline—not flashy milestones.
Foot Doctor Zach is the brainchild of Dr. Zach Thomas, a board-certified podiatrist and entrepreneur who educates athletes and everyday people alike through his viral YouTube channel. Blending biomechanics with performance footwear reviews, Zach also runs his own medical practice and a consulting business. His mission: to demystify podiatry, educate viewers, and build a life and brand on his own terms.

As Foot Doctor Zach’s audience expanded, he realized that great content requires more than passion—it requires the right environment. Shooting in a cold garage or cramped basement slowed him down. RISE helped eliminate those barriers.
With a professional, flexible space, Zach was able to streamline production, focus on his growing brand, and balance his work across YouTube, consulting, and private practice. Having a space that worked as hard as he did made all the difference.

With the support of his wife, father, and a tight-knit circle, Zach built a small but mighty network to help scale his business ventures.
Having a dedicated and flexible workspace allowed Zach to remove barriers in content creation, fueling faster production and more consistency.
